SVG is just XML, so any language that can write XML can handle SVG. There are plenty of tools to rasterize the SVG to a PNG. I don't think the choice of language matters very much.
- Qwertystop 10y agoWhile that's true, there's a bit of a divide between "can write arbitrary XML" and having a proper scene-graph to e.g. place shapes relative to each other, or apply transformations to groups. In the same way, "has string processing" is not "has a framework for static web pages", for all that it's possible to put together arbitrary HTML from that point.
- planteen 10y agoWhen you look at the SVG spec, it is quite simple, and not very different from what you would have to do in graphics APIs like OpenVG anyway for the operations you have described.
